i googled nothing my internet is running horribly slow atm... I am on 4g wireless //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif and we have a storm coming in...
and you said potential and referenced voltage not current so i made sure i put voltage as well I am not the stupid retard you seem to think I am dood...
Because potential and voltage are the same thing. If you reference potential and someone thinks that means current they clearly have no idea what they are talking about. Your stubborn pride is making you out to look like quite the fool.

 
hypocrite? for ribbing you like you do to me? who is the hypocrite here? I was joking you obviously are not... big difference.. you want pics of what I am doing?

I am tearing apart the top end down to the block on a 1989 Cheyenne 350 TBI... needs head gaskets...

 
You clearly weren't joking, but I will take that as you conceding this argument. Your willingness to help people on this forum should be commended, but your unwillingness to admit when you are incorrect is reprehensible. Please check your ego at the door. Understand that my ego is no part of this. I am on a crusade against misinformation to improve this hobby for all. That's why I started my website and it's why I do what I do. I am sorry it came to this but now from defending yourself you know that you were incorrect and from now on your advice will reflect the proper information. Mission accomplished.

 
i have conceded nothing ... I have proved nothing and neither have you apparently...

the argument went round and round with you just saying I am wrong...

I say I am wrong and to enlighten me... you still have not..

What would you like to be proved wrong about? I already have as is clearly evident from this thread, but anything you choose make a clear statement that you believe and is in line with your previous comments in this thread, and I will go ahead and disprove them.

 
w/e you said I was wrong about initially that started your tirade against me

If I am wrong I would like to know so I can correct it..

hell dude if I am wrong I will delete w/e post it is on...

I was dead serious when I said enlighten me...

I assumed that since you never said anything specific you were just being a ******* to me ... sit in my shoes...see what your posts look like then...

ahh I found what you say I am wrong on

Not true. Alternators are the highest source of potential in the circuit. Therefore while an alternator remains the highest source of potential in the circuit all current is drawn from it. Dimming occurs when the voltage drops. If the alternator can supply enough current for the amplifier to draw, the voltage does not drop and you get no dimming. It's very simple. Your statement is silly.
a battery is the highest "potential" because it is renewable... it takes very little alterator current ( amps ) to charge and maintain an AGM battery which in turn releases very large amounts of current nearly instantly due to the nature of their low ESR design.... something even the biggest alternator will never be capable of..
if he has 131 amps of draw from the amplifier all the time he needs at least double that in reserve...

by your logic no one would ever need batts and they would not exist because there would be no market for them...the opposite is more true..

in his situation he needs more storage not more generation... he is generating plenty of power and current and has no way to store it for the transient peaks ...

look at the bold... you yourself said the current was potential..instead of voltage...

I may have misworded my response but it is still correct.. he needs battery reserve not more voltage he needs current reserve... amps...

No I said the highest source of potential is the alternator and THEREFORE all current is drawn from it instead of the battery. Your lack of understanding is on full display now. Thank you.

all current is not drawn from just the alternator... if you think that is true you need help...

I admitted where I was wrong, when I said potential I should have said it differently... ... so how hard would it have been to just say that ?

the system takes power from the highest voltage source (alt) until the current demand is higher than it can supply, a draw is then placed on the reserves (batt) to supply the needed power to the loads.

The statement I made is true. It is not open for debate. I didn't make the rule. It's part of electronics. When the alternator is the highest source of potential, all current is drawn from it. If it were any other way, how would the battery stay charged? Lol!
